Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some enlarged lymphnode due to infection. Mostly it is due to reactive hyperplasia. However less likely it can be due to tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should take a course of antibiotics. Mostly it will decrease in size.
If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable.

Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
